Witness appeal after fail-to-stop collision

We are appealing for witnesses and anybody with dashcam footage in relation to a fail to stop collision involving a quad bike in Avonmouth.

A blue quad bike was involved in a collision with a motorcycle on Chittening Road at 7.50pm on Friday 9 October.

The rider of the motorcycle, a man in his fifties, suffered potentially life-changing injuries and has been taken to hospital for treatment, where he remains in a stable condition.

We have maintained contact with the rider of the motorcycle, who has been kept updated on the progress of the investigation and has been offered access to any support services he may benefit from.

CCTV and house-to-house enquiries have been carried out, and intelligence checks have been conducted. The quad bike suspected to have been involved has also been seized.

We are now appealing to any witnesses, anybody with information, or those with CCTV and dashcam footage of the incident, or during the moments immediately before and afterwards, to contact us to assist with our enquiries.
